“…De hecho, en todas las versiones antes nombradas los estudios factoriales brindaron resultados extremadamente intrincados y variables. Sus ítems presentaban cargas complejas y se agrupaban en estructuras diversas, desde unifactoriales, hasta bi, penta, hexa y octodimensionales (e.g., Abuín y de Rivera, 2014;Cyr, McKenna-Foley y Peacock, 1985;Daoud y Abojedi, 2010;De Las Cuevas et al, 1991;Hoffmann y Overall, 1978;Martínez Azumendi, Fernández Gómez y Beitía Fernández, 2001;Urbán et al, 2014), atribuyéndose estas diferencias a cuestiones de comorbilidad clínica (De Rivera y Abuín, 2012).…”

“…En este sentido, un hallazgo recurrente en estudios factoriales exploratorios (AFE) es una única dimensión superior usualmente identificada como una medida general de distrés psicológico (Benishek, Hayes, Bieschke y Stoffelmayr, 1998;Bonynge, 1993;Boulet y Boss, 1991;Cyr et al, 1985;Daoud y Abojedi, 2010;Grande, 2014;Loutsiou-Ladd, Panayiotou y Kokkinos, 2008;Martínez Azumendi, et al, 2001;Piersma, Boes y Reaume, 1994;Prunas, Sarno, Preti, Madeddu y Perugini, 2012;Torres et al, 2013;Zach, Toneatto y Streiner, 1998). En el caso de la SCL-90-R, por ejemplo, la constante falla en los intentos de replicar la estructura de nueve factores postulada complica la justificación del uso de las nueve puntuaciones correspondientes a las escalas.…”

“…En este marco metodoló-gico, al momento no se ha logrado verificar la hipótesis de invarianza del modelo subyacente a la SCL-90-R en grupos segmentados según sexo (Vassend y Skrondal, 1999). Para el BSI, en cambio, la invarianza resultó verificada al analizar un grupo clínico y uno de población general, aunque no es un detalle menor que la estructura puesta a prueba fuera unidimensional (Daoud y Abojedi, 2010). No obstante, el análisis para adolescentes versus adultos no llegó a buenos resultados (Piersma et al, 1994).…”

ResumenEl trabajo se propone aportar evidencias de validez referidas al Listado de Síntomas Breve (LSB-50; de Rivera y Abuín, 2012), instrumento psicométrico de screening para medir síntomas psicológicos, analizadas en una muestra de adultos argentinos. Los participantes fueron 1291 individuos distribuidos proporcionalmente según sexo (51% mujeres; 49% varones) con edades entre 18 y 89 años (M = 38.9, DE = 16.49). Se llevaron a cabo estudios de validación cruzada e invarianza factorial para examinar si un modelo de siete factores que se correspondía con siete escalas clínicas (Hipersensibilidad, Obsesiones-Compulsiones,

“…Although, studies with mixed samples constitute an ideal strategy (Bados, Balaguer, & Coronas, 2005), most researchers use data from general population due to its accessibility (e.g. Daoud & Abojedi, 2010;Ruipérez et al, 2001).…”

“…As the SCL-90-R resulted long for screening purposes, a shorter versionthe Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) -was developed (Derogatis, 1975;Derogatis & Spencer, 1982). The BSI was adapted to be used in countries such as Israel (Canetti, Shalev, & De-Nour, 1994), Spain (Ruipérez et al, 2001), Jordan (Daoud & Abojedi, 2010), Turkey (Sahin & Durak, 1994), Russia (Ritsner, Rabinowitz, & Slyuzberg, 1995), Italy (De Leo, Frisonai, Rozzini, & Trabucchi, 1993), the Philippines (Aoian, Patsdaughter, Levin, & Gianan, 1995), and Korea (Noh, Avison, & Kaspar, 1992). In general, psychometric studies report adequate reliability but many difficulties to obtain evidences of validity.…”

The main objective of this research was studying the psychometric properties of the Listado de síntomas breve (short checklist of symptoms; LSB-50) in a sample of 994 Argentinean adults (49.9% females; 50.1% males). Mean age was 40.66 years (standard deviation=17.01; Min=18; Max=89). This screening test has seven main clinical scales: hypersensitivity, obsessive-compulsive, anxiety, hostility, somatization, depression, and sleep disturbance. Pearson correlations indicated that all scales had positive and mostly moderate associations. The second order confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fit for a hierarchical model where all scales loaded in one major factor. Internal consistency by Cronbach's alpha was adequate. Females scored significantly higher than males in all scales except for the hostility scale, in which no differences were found. Although statistically significant associations with age were found in some scales, correlations were very weak. Obsessive-compulsive, sleep disturbance and depression scales had the highest scores, while anxiety presented the lowest score. Based on the psychometric evidence found, the scale seems to be suitable for the local population. Consequently, the availability of such measure may contribute to conduct epidemiological studies of psychopathology in Argentina. Moreover, the scale could be used for the assessment of psychotherapy progress and outcomes of clients, as well as for psychotherapy research. Notwithstanding, more evidence of validity and reliability should be sought.

A moderated mediation test of personality, coping, and health among deployed soldiers

et al. 2011

SummaryOur study examines how personality and coping influence soldiers' psychological health among 648 US Army personnel who were at that time deployed in Iraq at the height of an insurgency. Conscientiousness, neuroticism, and extraversion were associated with different coping behaviors, and these were in turn related to psychological distress. Conscientiousness was positively associated with problem-focused coping and negatively with avoidance coping, whereas neuroticism was most positively associated with avoidance coping. Extraversion was positively related to both seeking social support and avoidance coping. As expected, avoidance coping was positively associated with psychological distress. Coping style explained more variance in the relationship between personality and distress among soldiers who perceived higher levels of threat, thus supporting a moderated mediation hypothesis. We discuss implications for facilitating the stress coping of workers who face acute and potentially traumatic stress exposures. Copyright # 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Keywords: personality; coping; combat stress; psychological distress IntroductionPhysically dangerous work, such as that of first responders and military personnel, is known to have adverse health consequences even for those who are not injured or killed (Jermier, Gaines, & McIntosh, 1989). These symptoms may arise not only from the threatening conditions these workers face regularly but also from witnessing very distressing events. Soldiers at war are a dramatic case in point. The wars in Afghanistan and in Iraq have produced a new generation of veterans who are at potential risk for chronic mental health problems (Litz, 2007). A comprehensive investigation of soldiers deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq showed that 19 per cent of veterans returning from Iraq reported having mental health problems (Hoge, Auchterlonie, & Milliken, 2006), and 13 per cent of the soldiers deployed to Iraq met the screening criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during the first 3-4months after returning home (Hoge et al., 2004). Research has demonstrated a positive association between traumatic exposures and PTSD among workers who practice high-risk activities, including firefighters (e.g., Wagner, Heinrichs, & Ehlert, 1998), police (Robinson, Sigman, & Wilson, 1997), and deployed soldiers (e.g., Bramsen, Dirkzwager, & Van de Ploeg, 2000). There are also studies linking coping strategies to health outcomes among workers who were exposed to traumatic situations (Benotsch Journal of Organizational Behavior, J. Organiz. Behav. 33, 512-530 (2012) Published online 5 August 2011 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com) DOI: 10.1002/job.766 This article is a U.S. government work, and is not subject to copyright in the United States. Brown, Mulhern, & Joseph, 2002;Haisch & Meyers, 2004). Avoidance coping (e.g., denying reality, using alcohol or drugs) is generally found to be maladaptive across a variety of traumatic situations (e.g., Benotsch et al., 2000;Chung, Farme...
